The Herd with Colin Cowherd

It's Prime Cuts! The best of the Colin Cowherd Podcast. First, Colin's top takes (3:00), including his reaction to the college hoops postgame handshake altercation between Michigan HC Juwan Howard and Wisconsin's Greg Gard, which team makes sense for a Tom Brady comeback, and what Aaron Rodgers most recent cryptic Instagram post says about its author.

Then, Ryen Russillo - Host of the Ryen Russillo Podcast - (17:00) gives his thoughts on the growing negative narrative surrounding Zion Williamson, what's behind the Aaron Rodgers Instagram drama, and if the constant distractions decrease his trade value.

Ian O'Connor -- NY Post columnist and author of Belichick and Coach K -- (31:00) discusses the rough early years at Duke, the turning point for Coach K's program, and why Ian thinks it's only a matter of time before Tom Brady comes back to the NFL and how Bruce Arians may have driven Brady away.

She also believes the Lakers are suffering from high expectations more than anything as the second half of the season is underway.
